Serofibrinous pericarditis in horse
A large amount of serum accumulates in the pericardial cavity due to bacterial
infection and other factors, and soft-boiled egg-like fibrin deposits. The pericardial
cavity is dilated, compressing the lung and impairing circulation and respiration.
The lesion sometimes extends to the myocardium or pulmonary pleura. This disease
often develops during pasturage and is also called "cold pericarditis".
